Obituary, 1/95 by TiC, The Innocent Crew, denis@doomsday.shnet.org
For a short PWAD description read the file README.DOC.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Obituary is distributed as freeware. You are not allowed to change
this package. We (TiC) are not liable for any direct or indirect
damage caused as a result of using this software. Use it at your own
risk.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 1] - Thanks to:
id - for their evil brains and great games
Greg Lewis - for Dehacked 2.2
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 2] - Obituary contains the following replacements for Doom II:
* 16 new levels & a bonus level.
Two special external Deathmatch-levels. (Section 3 for details)
* 3 new enemies:
+ Harder Imp (shooting green fireballs, moves faster)
+ Bazooka Man, a rocket-shooting guy - be careful, he's also
called 'Splashing Man'... :-)
+ A very fast semi-invisible hightech guy. Be quick or be dead.
* a lot of new graphics; walls, floors, textures, sprites & weapons
* 3 Demos - recorded with version 1.666 (!) and in NORMAL Obituary.
If you play the demos with the special weapon patch, the players
are doing strange things...
- Demo 1 & 2 are single player recordings
- Demo 3 is a 2 player network recording
* Optional a special weapon patch containing 4 changes:
+ Kick (for punch)
+ Double-Pistol (for Pistol, right - just like ROTT :-) )
+ THE Sonic P300 Booster, an awesome BFG-replacement
+ and another very 'hot' weapon... :) find out yourself!
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 3] - The Deathmatch-PWADs
* Obituary contains two external Deathmatch-levels. They are called
OBDEATH1.WAD and OBDEATH2.WAD. They are designed for speed, there
are no monsters of course.
To run a Obituary Deathmatch-level, don't install Obituary!
-> Run them with a clean Doom II.
They are containing ALL weapons. Look at this:
Skill 1/2 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw
Skill 3 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw, Shotgun, Super Shotgun,
Chaingun, Rocket Launcher
Skill 4/5 to have: Pistol, Fist, Chainsaw, Shotgun, Super Shotgun,
Chaingun, Rocket Launcher, Plasma Rifle, BFG
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 4] - Installing Obituary
* First of all, install a clean version of Doom II
* Copy ALL files in this package to your Doom II directory
You will need at least 5,5 MB free disk space to play Obituary!
* Start OBTIC.EXE to install and start Obituary
OBITUARY IS NOT WORKING WITH DOOM - USE ONLY DOOM II
Hit F1 or F2 to install Obituary. Anytime your are in this menu,
you can re-install Obituary. If you want to check out the weapons,
just hit F2 - if you don't like them, just hit F1 to install the
normal add-on.
OBTIC.EXE will change your DOOM2.WAD and DOOM2.EXE file. Don't
panic, you can uninstall everytime, restoring your original Doom II.
If you want to play normal Doom II again - you have to uninstall
Obituary first.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 5] - Running Obituary
Before running Obituary, be sure to INSTALL it. See section 4.
The OBTIC.EXE menu lets you start Obituary single player only. Just
hit F5 to play.
-> Btw: Don't use cheat-codes, this will decrease game-play and <-
-> fun a lot. If you can't beat it - try a lower difficulty. <-
-> Otherwise - just TRY to cheat :-) <-
To play Obituary with modem or network, just start OBTIC.EXE with
the parameters for the SERSETUP.EXE or IPXSETUP.EXE. OBTIC will pass
all necessary parameters to these programs. Examples:
For a 3-player network game at ultra-violence:
OBTIC -nodes 3 -skill 4
For a 2 player modem game at ultra-violence:
OBTIC -com2 -skill 4 -answer
(Note that OBTIC.EXE will automatically add the necessary PWADs)
Of course you can call the SERSETUP or IPXSETUP direct (with a menu
tool or something like that) - be sure to have Obituary installed
(start OBTIC.EXE, install it and exit) AND do not forget to add two
PWADs: OBTIC1.WAD and OBTIC2.WAD. DO NOT USE OBTIC3.WAD!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ 6] - Problems with Obituary
(1) - "The OBTIC.EXE is not running."
Very bad. Okay, here is another way to INSTALL/UNINSTALL Obituary.
(This is the install-procedure processed by OBTIC.EXE)
+ Copy all files in your Doom II directory.
+ Del or rename the file DEHACKED.INI if it is available. Be
sure to have ONLY Doom II installed-no DOOM.EXE or DOOM.WAD!!
+ Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -save obtic3.deh'
(To save the original Doom II EXE)
-> Now do this to install the normal Obituary:
+ Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -load obtic1.deh'
(If you have installed Obituary WITH weapons before this, copy
the original OBTIC2.WAD in your Doom II directory. Now...)
+ Run NWT: 'NWT -merge obtic2.wad'
+ Start Obituary: 'DOOM2 -file obtic1.wad obtic2.wad'
-> Or this to install Obituary with the special weapon patch:
+ Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -load obtic2.deh'
+ Save the file OBTIC2.WAD in another directory, if you want to
run normal Obituary later.
+ Run NWT: 'NWT -join obtic2.wad obtic3.wad'
+ Run NWT: 'NWT -merge obtic2.wad'
+ Start Obituary: 'DOOM2 -file obtic1.wad obtic2.wad'
-> To uninstall Obituary without OBTIC.EXE:
+ Run Dehacked: 'DEHACKED -load obtic3.deh'
+ Run NWT: 'NWT -restore'
(2) - OBTIC.EXE is hanging during Install.
Try to press ENTER/RETURN and wait a few seconds. If this
is not running, try to install Obituary yourself. See section 6
point 1 for details.
(3) - Doom II is not running. It hangs before/during the WAD-init.
Uninstall and copy all Obituary files in your Doom II directory
again (overwriting the old ones) - then install it again.
(4) - Doom II is not running. It hangs during the Doom refresh
daemon init.
You forgot the PWADs. Add the files OBTIC1.WAD & OBTIC2.WAD
when starting Doom II. Don't use OBTIC3.WAD.
If it is still not running, uninstall and install again.
